Re: How to recreate "Warm Pad" at http://www.ableton.com/analog
Generally for pads/synth-string I guess you'll want to: At least 2 or 3 oscilators (I think I use sawtooth), one of which is tuned an octave higher, also detune the oscs with fine tune so they are a few cents (just a little) out of tune w. each others. It's the interaction between the almost in tune...

Re: Computer preparation before setting up studio
I'd say go with two partitions. Operating system and ableton installed on C:, keep as much of your own data/songs/samples and downloaded stuff you want to keep on D: I think something like 80GB on C: should be enough for windows, ableton and some other programs. Installed programs will almost always...

Nudge everything an 8th to the left?
Or instead of a long attack, put a long decay on instead, also experiment with separate filter envelope...

Re: MPD32 not showing in MIDI Ports
There is a problem/bug with windows and USB-Midi devices, the problem is thare is a limit to the number of devices connected (I think 10). Normally this wouldn't be a problem for most people, except that if you switch USB port on a device it will be counted as a 'new' device . I had this problem, so...

Re: Using standard MIDI sounds from a MIDI-file
You're quite right :oops: sorry. The midi tracks would contain program change or bank select commands (special CC messages), I think this is what you see in the midi editor to the left in the boxes "Bank", "Sub bank" and "program". So in the version of part rock I found...

Re: Using standard MIDI sounds from a MIDI-file
If you search around about MIDI standard sounds/instruments you should find there is a list of instruments/sound types connected to the MIDI standard (though this list was alway 'suggested' sounds), this was for synth manufacturers make presets following some sort of convention or standard. This wou...

Re: Recreating ambient sound
+1 what kanuck said. Generally with subtractive synthesis (basicly all synths) it's best to start with a square or a sawtooth wave, since these contain lots of harmonics/overtones (Square has the odd numbered overtones (mults. of base frequency) 1, 3, 5... while sawtooth has all overtones 1, 2, 3......

Re: How do I get this ringing guitar sound? (sample)
Hmm, kinda sounds like a 'natural harmonic'/overtone (like the ones you can get on 5th, 7th and 12th fret)?

Re: sample recording
Microphones are a djungle of opinions, though some common recommendations I see are:
Shure SM58 - dynamic (doesn't need phantom power), one of the worlds most popular mics.
Rode NT1 or 2 - condenser mic.

Re: LaunchPad
You can't change channels on the launchpad.
Try using specific MIDI port assignments in ableton (instead of just 'Any source'/'All MIDI') or change your VCMs channel if possible.

Re: LFO Type VST To Automate Parameters Outside A Synth
Check out these free plugins for midi-LFO:s (I imagine you could midi-map in ableton from these).

Re: balancing audio from soundcard
You would normally use one track in ableton, and select 1+2 as external input. So you shouldn't need to record onto 2 separate mono tracks, but one stereo. However if you do record to 2 separate tracks, you can of course (stereo) pan track one to the left and track 2 to the right. I also think there...

Re: What ableton upgrade do i buy?
Yes, I do think the 'Upgrade from live lite' is the one you should get.
